FOR MY EPIC AU FIC: STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, INSPIRED FROM PARADISE LOST AND GOD SPEED LOVE.

"OK! We're out of here!" shouted Robin. "To the escape pods!"

The entire team went towards the escape pods. Only one remained but it could fit two. Draco and Jinx stood outside of it and this time the Red Rider found his nerve to confess his feelings. He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her passionately, which she found herself returning as well. She pulled away, gazing at his emerald eyes.

"Draco?" she asked. "Why…?"

"I love you," he said, "And I'm sorry." He then shoved her into the escape pod and the door closed. Jinx's eyes widened in horror as she watched him enter the launch sequence for the pods.

"Draco! What are you doing!?" she shouted at him, banging on the small circular window.

"This station is gonna crash into a populated area. Someone has to maneuver it where people won't get hurt!" he told her.

"But you'll die!" she shouted and he raised up his hand. He removed the glove to show that his hand was starting to disintegrate by the ash falling.

"I'm already dying," he said, smiling sadly, "At least this way I can go out with a bang."

"Draco…no…" Jinx trembled, eyes watering with tears.

"Goodbye," he said before he slammed his hand onto the release button, releasing all the escape pods.

"DRACO!!"

Draco bowed his head before running towards the control room. He sat down on one of the seats and took the controls of the station. It was falling towards Earth, fast, being pulled by the planet's gravity, but he wasn't about to let it crash into the city and cause another disaster like the one that'd taken place 9 years ago.

"Henshin!" he called out before his armor engulfed him once more, changing him into Draco and then the Hyper Inzecter attached itself to his belt, changing him to Hyper Mode.

"CHANGE HYPER MODE!"

He gripped the controls tightly and pressed commands to at least try and get the station to divert from its course. He could feel his body deteriorating, but he was not going to let it stop him from doing what was right.

Back on Earth, people could see as the station came into the atmosphere upon reentry as pieces of it started to fall off. The Station flew over the city and headed towards a large body of water.

On the ground where the escape pods had fallen, Jinx stepped out of one and could only watch as the station fell towards the ocean.

And then…

The station crashed before it sank deep into the water. The pink haired girl collapsed onto her knees, watching helplessly as the boy she loved went down with the ship.

9 years ago the meteors fell from the sky and destroyed a large portion of the city. Many died and lost so many precious people. Beneath the remains of a building were two children. One was a boy with red hair and green eyes and another was a girl with pink eyes and hair. The boy was trapped under a large slab while the girl was about to be buried under the rubble.

"Help me! Help me please!!" the girl shouted.

The boy tried to push the slab off his body to help the girl but he was too weak. He was too weak!!

But then, the girl stopped crying when she saw a light shine above them. The boy looked too and his green eyes widened at what they saw.

It was an angel…with red and silver armor…flying on shining wings.

Then, the armor vanished, leaving behind a guy with red hair and green eyes, much like the boy's. He then squatted down and lifted the slab up, releasing the boy from the trap. The kind man said, "Save her, she needs you." He then handed the boy something before he vanished.

Their little chamber was about to collapse so the boy ran towards the girl and helped her out of the hole she was trapped in. He was just in time too as the ceiling collapsed. He covered her body with his.

"Hey, we got a couple of survivors here!" shouted one of the rescue workers. The boy and girl looked up and were relieved. "We'll get you, kids. Don't move!"

The boy looked at the thing in his hand and pocketed it. He would cherish it always. He also realized that he was still holding the girl in his arms.

"Thank you," the girl said, smiling, "What's your name?"

"Ryuki," he said.

"I'm Jenny," she said beaming, and his face turned red when she kissed his cheek. "My hero."

"Titans! Go!"
